Duck seems to act normal but ends up on its back.

I have a friend who I have been hatching ducks with. one of her new ducklings (cayuga) (about a week old now) seems to act normal, but at times get up on its "toes" and then tip backwards and then not be able to right itself. It is fed duck food not chicken starter. it is still under the lights so it is container in a smaller area . there are a total of 5 ducklings. any suggestions as to what the issue might be?

Could you take a video of her doing that so we can see exactly what's going on?

 

[des7598]

yes I will get one.

Sorry for the delay everyone. however no video was able to be taken because the little guy has stopped falling over. so my apologies for jumping to conclusions that there was a problem. thank you all .
